The breathing process is primarily controlled by the diaphragm. The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle located at the base of the thoracic cavity that contracts and relaxes to facilitate the inhalation and exhalation of air. While rib muscles (intercostal muscles) also play a role in the mechanics of breathing, the diaphragm is the main muscle responsible for this process.
